The Broken Link Checker WordPress plugin (BLC) is an essential SEO audit plugin.
For any WordPress blog, this plugin is a lifesaver for removing broken links and fixing redirections and is very handy when you are cleaning up your WordPress site. This plugin finds all broken and redirected links and gives you lots of options to fix them.
